Couple of things Matthew.

 

#1. Make sure the new install has the same SP and the same site/org name as the old server.

 

#2. When you shutdown drop to the exchsrvr/bin directory and type eseutil /mh /ispriv |more and that will list the headers and show you a consistent database. *BTW* Even non-consistent dbs will work, if you del the .log files

 

#3. Run eseutil /mh /ispub |more (I think it is) and this will verify the public folder as per above.

 

#4. Copy the #.edb from mdbdata over to the new exchange server. Copy the *.edb from DSADATA (this brings the imc, recipents, public folders structure).

 

#5. >From new server exchsrvr\bin run isinteg -patch. You should see a successful patch of the databases. Start Exchaneg on the new server.

 

Good Luck.

when you shut the services down, it should commit all transactions and leave things consistent.  I stress the word "should" strongly.

Hi People,

I've got a new machine for a very small exchange server. I basically want to make sure the databases are consistant, stop the services on the old machine and move the files to the new machine and restart the machine and away we go. how do i make sure the database is consistant state? If i set the services to disabled (all the exhange server ones) and then restart the machine it should make all the databases in a consistant state?

it's only a very small database (less then 500mb) and i don't want to stuff around with either tape drives. I thought about exmerge, but would be nice to not have to recreate the mailboxes by hand.. (only 15 mailboxes).....

Any thoughts?

Matthew
